With the release of iOS 5, there are a lot of goodies that Apple is planning (or already has) to release today. I will keep this list updated as more becomes available:
Be sure to upgrade to iOS 5.0 prior to installing these as most (if not all) require iOS 5.
iMovie (Apple inc. $4.99) Universal App
iMovie was updated with the release of the iPad 2 last week and with the changes they have made to this app I am changing the rating from a 3 star to a 4 star app. There are many changes that come with this update including the ability to use iMovie on multiple devices. Although technically speaking it is a universal app, it doesn’t actually install on the first generation iPad. There are ways of getting around that and getting it to install on a first gen iPad but part of the reason left it off that device was because of the slow CPU and lack of memory. There are a few minor differences between the iPad and iPhone versions of iMovie but for the most part it is identical. This review covers both versions of the app.
Apple today released iOS 4.3, an update to their iOS software for iPad, iPhone and iPod devices. Presumably with this release will also come an update to the TV given that one of the new features specifically is relative to using the AirPlay functionality in third party apps with your TV. The real question is, what does this update mean for you and how will it affect you.
Ok, we knew this was coming, we just didn’t have all the details. Well today Apple officially announced the release of the iPad 2. According to Steve Jobs, “2011. This will be the year of the iPad 2″, this new iPad is expected to by far outshine its competition. With a myriad of tablets expected to be released this year, the iPad really has to go far to stay ahead. One thing I have personally learned about Apple over the years is that no matter what people speculate going into an Apple event, they never cease to WOW me with the details of their new device. No matter how hard I try to not have to have that new device, I always end up being there to get it! The iPad 2 is no exception, with the sleek new design and new features it is sure to stay ahead of any competing device. And of course the hardest thing for any competitor is to beat that price!
